I received a 'gift card' to Lowes. There is $150 left on the card. Although I do NOT usually shop for tools there, I was considering this IR air tool kit. What do you think? http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?action=productDetail&productId=221131-28309-2317G&lpage=none

It's my first garage, so be kind. My military career, undergraduate school, graduate school and jobs had us moving all over the place. Now that we finally settled down, I have a garage that I could call truly mine. It was completely bare when I first started 3 years ago (I have young...

The next Craftsman Club Sale is August 17 thru August 23. Just thought it would be a good idea to post these when they occur.

I've been looking at this Craftsman one. It is a little bulky though. http://www.sears.com/sr/javasr/product.do?BV_UseBVCookie=Yes&vertical=TOOL&fromAuto=YES&bidsite=CRAFT&pid=03483893000 Do you have a favorite light? What do you recommend?

A quality 6 inch red vise made in the good old U.S.A., by american hands. Any recommendations?

What are your favorite jack stands? I currently have craftsman, but after epoxying my floor I'm considering some like these with "feet": http://buy1.snapon.com/catalog/item.asp?P65=&tool=all&item_ID=72517&group_ID=1725&store=snapon-store&dir=catalog Please post your favorite stands, and...

Who has em'? What kind do you have? Do you like them? Do you use them with any regularity? I've been looking at the Craftsman and SK standard length versions. I noticed that Matco has a stubby set........ which might be very handy. MAC carries them, but I'm not sure if they actually make...

Okay, I know, everyone wants to let loose with a ****** comment. Yes, I worded the title in a risky fasion, but keep it on topic! Seriously, I've always used WD-40 for just about all tasks. My neighbor loves 'Aero Kroil' to loosen metal parts. I had never heard of it until he showed me a...

I want to purchase one large drill bit set. Drill bits for wood, metal, plastic, drywall, etc. I shamelessly admit that I do NOT know the differences/advantages of Cobalt bits vs. Zironium Nitride bits vs. 'industrial grade' bits, etc. What do you recommend for long lasting all around use...

Must be a SET. I've been told to purchase the ones with a strike plate on the end of the handles. Besides these 'Professianal' ones from craftsman, are their any other that you recommend...

I was looking for something different than my craftsman screwdriver holder. I saw this rubber holder on the Matco website and decided to purchase it. Not all of my craftsman screwdrivers fit in there perfectly. Some of the handles do not seat in the slots completely. However, when I open and...

I see them everywhere, but do not know much about their history and quality. Where do they rank? Higher-end like Snap-on, Mac and Matco, middle ground like maybe a craftsman, or are they less of a quality than craftsman??????? Who has SK tools? Like em'?

I only need 22 tiles and some tapered trim. Putting under my workbench and tool boxes. Much appreciated!

What are your favorite options for parts storage? Please post pics if you have them! I have the typical plastic "Stack-On" type that is shown in the picture. However, I'm reorganizing my garage and I'm interested in all options. Does anyone still make these parts storage bins in metal? Red...

Shopping for an air hose & reel. #1 or #2 ? Both are Craftsman. The first is a heavy duty steel model and the second all contained in its plastic shell. Who has had difficulty with either of these models?

What on-line resources/sites do you recommend for purchasing certain tools, shop equipment, garage accessories, etc.?? Who's on your short list?? Much appreciated!

It's time to get a Miter Saw. I'm looking at 12 inch compound models. I have a bench saw so I do not need a Miter Saw that slides. Most of my power tools are Porter Cable. I've been extremely happy so far with their performance. For this "chop" saw, I've been looking at the: 1) Porter...

Please give your advice on which one of these I should purchase. Your knowledge is MUCH APPRECIATED! My compressor goals: 1) Oil lubricated design 2) Upright if possible for space savings 3) 25 to 30 gallon tank is all that I will EVER NEED! 3) It will see only occasional use of cars...

With the race coverage switching to Lowe's Motor Speedway these 2 weeks, I've seen a lot of footage in the garage area. The first thing I noticed was how nice (and bright) the floor was. Below are 2 pics of the Lowe's garage area that I found online. What type of coating do you think they've...
